Initial analysis

The 14-unit multi-family residential building at 44 Gardenside Drive in Twin Peaks, owned by Georgine Dixon Property Tru, has a documented history dating back to its 1966 construction. The three-story building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past decades, with the most recent being a completed reroofing project in February 2024 costing $19,000. Notably, the building successfully completed a mandatory seismic retrofit in 2017 to address soft-story vulnerabilities, achieving compliance with San Francisco's building codes. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues with exterior decks, fire safety systems, and general building upkeep, particularly evident in a series of violations and complaints in 2003 and more recently in January 2024, though these have all been officially abated.

While the building has maintained active compliance with major safety requirements, there have been three fire-related complaints in recent years (2019, 2021, and 2023) regarding blocked exits, alarm systems, and electrical systems, with the 2023 complaint ultimately being found to have no merit. Historical improvements include a building facade alteration in 2000 and multiple reroofing projects throughout the years. The surrounding area has experienced various municipal issues unrelated to building management, such as abandoned vehicle incidents and general street maintenance needs, as documented in 311 calls from 2020 through 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety requirements, though recurring issues with certain systems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 44 Gardenside Dr's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
